[SRU][J/N:linux-bluefield][PATCH v5 0/1] mmc: core: Avoid bitfield RMW for claim/retune flags

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2143925

SRU Justification:

[Impact]

The host->claimed bit shared a word with retune flags. Writes to claimed
in __mmc_claim_host() or retune_now in mmc_mq_queue_rq() can overwrite
other bits when concurrent updates happen in other contexts, triggering
spurious WARN_ON(!host->claimed).

[Fix]

Convert claimed, can_retune, retune_now and retune_paused to bool to remove shared-word coupling.

[Test Case]

* Boot BlueField-3 platform and verify that there are no instances of
  "WARN_ON(!host->claimed)" call trace in dmesg log.

[Regression Potential]

None

[Notes]
